As Malcolm X described in his autobiography, his father’s death was believed by Lansing African Americans to have been the work of the Black Legion, a Ku Klux Klan-like hate group. They purportedly murdered him and then laid his body across the tracks for a streetcar to run over him. Malcom was six at the time.
